{"title":"SADDLE \u0026 STEP TOOL BOXES","description":"\u003cp\u003eA saddle tool box, a step tool box and a step box are the same object under three names: a box that fills the empty frame rail between the fuel tank and the quarter fender, with steps built into the front. Most tractors leave that space empty and give you one plain step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll three widths share the same height and depth, 24.5in by 28.4in, so the only choice is how far the box reaches along the rail. Measure the gap on your own truck before ordering. That measurement decides the width, not the make, because two tractors of the same model can leave different room depending on tank length and what else is hung on the rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery one carries two punched-tread steps, a wide lid on a gas strut, a rubber seal and a lockable T-handle.
